I like to build things. CTO/Co-Founder @ Tweets and opinions are definitely my own, especially the angry ones.

@TysonTrautmann @QuinnyPig Correct. You have to unset everyone's password so user/password just doesn't work but you can't actually disable the option. Absurd.

@chrija We’re using @gretel_ai for this. Great product.

[LangChain @LangChain]

We're really excited by @gretel_ai's approach to combining agent-based methods, LLMs, and synthetic data to enable natural language queries for databases and data warehouses, sans SQL.

@GergelyOrosz Did they mention _why_ they got cold feet? I feel like the interpretation of the implications is going to make adoption hard for something that I personally do not think can replace real system design well beyond basic DSA, syntax, etc support.

@RamaswmySridhar @Vasanth76465378 @gretel_ai @googlecloud @a_golshan Hey @Vasanth76465378 that's a good question. Gretel gives you the choice of where to run your data plane. So customers can deploy the data processing jobs in their own environment. It's not a full air-gap, but it ensures customers do not need to share data with us.

#Meta was just fined $414M for #GDPR #privacy violations in Europe as regulators concluded that there is effectively no opt-out for data collection with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp🧵

We are super excited about building a #developer stack for synthetic data that anyone can use and that addresses the modern challenges of data consumers.

When we launched Gretel 3 years ago, it was to solve a simple problem: people need data and they have a hard time getting it.

Here's a brief thread on what we've learned since then and why we're now building a #developer stack for synthetic data.

[John T. Myers @jtm_tech]

Finally, this entire process needs to be automated i.e.

- Integrate into modern data sources and sinks
- Remove the need to make explicit model choices; and
- Apply privacy preserving steps before synthetic model creation

It should be simple and seamless.

@a_golshan You rang?

[John T. Myers @jtm_tech]

@bascodes You can also just make that get color function an enum...avoid making it a function all together and not worry about hitting a KeyError

[Ali Golshan @a_golshan]

We are hosting a workshop on how to generate synthetic text data for augmenting #AI and #ML datasets using @gretel_ai open-source language model. We'll show how you’ll be able to train a chatbot or sentiment analysis model or even build a voice model. https://t.co/KsyilVFw7u

@1Password What are you doing to my computer?

[Tim Ehrhart @ArtisanalAPT]

At 1123 UTC on 27 Feb, a convoy of 9 "Z" marked Russian trucks were moving from #Oktyabrskii northwest towards #Bessonovka. Anyone have any idea where all this equipment is coming from/to on the Russian side?
